You should have dual piston front brake calipers on that model and year, so yes on the front axles there are 4 pistons total

'86 gxl came with 4 pistons per caliper, Just like the turbos.

I would expect the same on the '88. Look at em though. You can tell.

Mark,

Sorry, it's 4 PER caliper. 2 on either side of the rotor.
